Quilting Completed

Once again, I have not been able to get a truly good photo of a completed quilt and had to settle for just having a photo. I was trying to get a shot that really shows off the quilting, and I think you can see it here, but I'm biased because I know what it looks like.
Anyway, the quilting did not come out like I had envisioned, but I actually think it looks better than my original concept. Stupid me did not factor in the distortion that happens when you use the guides on the walking foot to sew curves. But, I was lucky in that the overall effect is really cool and I was able to adjust the design as I went along.

I love looking at your quilts. They are beautiful.
I have a quick question. I am looking to upgrade my sewing machine. I was wondering what machine you have and do you use a quilting frame?
Thanks,
Tricia
The quilt is beautiful. The quilting makes the quilt. I love heavy quilting. Did you take this to someone with a longarm?
I do not use a longarm. I have a regular old sewing machine - a Bernina Activa 125, which I love to pieces and use to quilt all of my quilts. I do not use any kind of frame.
I'm blog surfing.. looking for inspiration for a quilting design for my latest project -- I love your curves here -- nice!
